Innovative start-up touring venture created through understanding the industry through a successful career as a high achieving competitor with “brand-name” recognition conceived by a series of competitive wins, on-camera media appearances, and events management triumphs. With a vision to unite sports enthusiasts with professional skateboarding, surfing, motocross, and wakeboarding athletes. The idea quickly gained momentum, driving hundreds of individuals eager to participate in coaching clinics, competitive events and special promotions, further rewarded by interested sponsors and media venues.
